bayfield, beside the road looked stead

saw him he was riding along this very
road, bareback, and without no shoes
nor stockings on" AT the next farm
house a farmer did not seem to grasp
the situation until the President had
passed. Then he ran into the barn,
brought out an old double-barreled
gun and discharged both barrels in

Spanish physician resident at San Saliva
dor, who furthermore declares that in hO5
infusion coca is the most useful and
healthful beverage one can drink after
dining 1t is especially commendable to
the feeble and to those who have tran

coh0l, and, therefore, should be tested in
asylums for inebriatcs. 1t surely and
certainly Gains nervous eXcitability, and,
used in small quantities, enables one to
endure cold, rain and snow, and to defy
great fatigue, and restores the forces i'm
paired or lost by excuses.
In South American countries it is popu-
larly used for Indigestion, disordered
stomach, hysteriu, ilatulency, collie and
all intestinal troubles.
1t is employed constantly by tOilers in
the mines, and when they reach the mines
after marching several days through
forests and over mountains, sustained
alone by the use of coca and maize, they
are permitted to eat at discretion through
four days and have perfect rest. Co
casino, or habitU;I iutoXicatiOn by U.e of
coca, becomes morc iucurable than alcO-
holism or servitudc to opiates, but its con-
sequences are not yet wholly measured
nor determined. Excessive and constant
use of the coca rs an intoNicant begets
rapid moral and list, llCCtual degradation
and decay, G.id the steady decline is inter

pleasure, but has neither discouraged
nor dispersed them. The kindness

done much to heighten the campers
enjoyment and still more to lessen the
occasional tediousness of camp life
during rainy weather. A tent spa
cious enough to accommodate ten per-
Sons and cover various Florida curl
osities, shed that covers a rough
board table, large stone arch, a cot,
hammock, an oil stove, and a sail
boat are the important equipments of
"Camp Lyon" The campers have

have tried their skill with good success
during the past week. The quiet and
gentlemanly department of those who
fish on the Lake is very compliments
